Mr.. Bright Gives His Opinions.

LONDON, Jan. IA.
John Bright in his letter declining an invi-
tation to attend the meeting of the advocates
of federation on the ground that he has no
sympathy with tie objects and purposes
thereof, asks the projectors of the movement
how the proposed federation would deal with
the fisheries dispute between Canada and the
United States. If Canada were independent,
he asserts, she would yield to the arguments
OF her powerful neighbors, and if there were
no Dominion of Canada the dispute would
soon be settled bv English concession OF
Americas reasonable claims. The federation
PROJECT, he says, is mainly an oil, spring of the
the Jingo spirit which clamors for the vast
and continually widening empire and seems
almost ready to boast that the empire can
fight the world outside of It's own limits. Mr..
Bright says he would recommend sensible
men to let the question rest.
